DISCLAIMER: Powerpuff Girls is copyright of Craig McCracken, and I suppose you could say Hannah-Barbera.
A/N: Since most people have already seen the PPG episodes, I will not be putting full transcripts up. Instead, I plan to include pieces of the episode, followed by RRB commentary and such. Italics will be pieces of episode. RRB commentary is in third person; however, still in their point of view- or what their thought processes would be like.
Ch: Two; Insect Inside
'Insect Inside' flashed the screen in bold, italic letters.
Opening up to the city skyline at night, the episode starts.
"The city of Townsville. But enough about that," dismisses the Narrator. Scene cuts to a two-story house; the structure is rather plain and rectangular, with a large corner window on the first floor followed by three round ones on the second. Sitting off to one side is a garage; the front door is bright red. "Here, at the Powerpuff Girls' suburban home, is where our story begins," starts the Narrator."'
Minutes later, Brick and Butch are bawling their eyes out at Bubbles running from a cockroach.
'Get away, get away, get away,' they mocked in unison, their voices becoming a high pitch.
"What'd I miss?" asked Boomer, popping a piece of burnt popcorn in his mouth. He handed a bowl to both his brothers in response.
"Your girlfriend crying over a bug," Laughed the green ruff, grabbing a fistful of popcorn and stuffing it in his mouth. Moments later, he was spitting out the wretched food. "This is disgusting, dude."
Snickering at his brother, Brick watched on-screen Blossom whined at her sister's about the insect.
'"Buttercup, no! It's just a cockroach!" she exclaimed.
"Shut up, Blossom! It's gross," defended Buttercup.'
"Told," hollered Butch, pointing at the on-screen pink puff.
Raising an eyebrow, the scheming redhead wrote down, 'girls fight over bugs.'
A few minutes passed, and the on-screen puffs were being lectured by the Professor.
'"Actually, girls, to him—well, you're pretty gross yourselves, with your big heads, large eyes, little bodies—" Abruptly, Professor Utonium was cut off by his girls.
"Okay," the girl's interrupted, agitated.
The screen slowly zooming in on the roach, the Professor continues. "You see, the Blatta odea, or more commonly known as the cockroach, may be ugly and disgusting, but— well, they're also strong and focused creatures, and are very important to the balance of nature."'
"Nerd alert," laughs the red ruff.
Boomer exclaims, "Just kill the dumb thing!"
'Moments pass and the Professor is still rambling. As if in some sort of science-fiction movie, the previously cheerful man's tone becomes oddly sinister and almost raving. "A race of bug people! With a million eyes, sixteen legs, exoskeletons, feelers, and—"
"Professor," shouts Blossom, gaining the man's attention.
"Sorry. But remember, girls- " he kneels down to the puffs. "It's not right to harm an insect just because it's yucky on the outside. It's the insect inside that's important."'
Like the suck-up she is, on-screen Blossom nods. 'Dude, how did she even stay awake through that?' thought Brick, yawning at the previous monologue from the nerdy man.
Moments passed, the Rowdyruffs watching in silence as on-screen the Professor told the girls it was bedtime.
"That must suck," Stated Butch, "I'd go insane if MoJoke tried to give me a bedtime."
"No wonder you're so twitchy," snickered the red ruff.
"I am not," defended the twitching ruff, reaching over to slap his brother.
"For real though bro, sometimes we think your hiding meth from us or something," stated the blue ruff, his voice adapting to an almost concerned tone. Both brothers looked at him, waiting for the punch line. "At least share."
Howling with laughter, the Rowdyruffs almost missed the on-screen cockroach enter a completely bare and utterly disgusting room.
"Dude, that thing creeps me out," thought Butch aloud, staring at the roach with wide eyes.
Remembering the green ruff's fear of spiders, Brick could see where his brother would be scared. Still, he would not miss a prime-time teasing moment.
Unfortunately, Boomer beat him too it- "Aw, is 'wittle Butchie scared of the cockroach?" Although the blue ruff cautiously picked when to piss off his brothers, the idea of Butch actually being scared of anything was too good to pass up. Especially since his tyrant brother constantly made fun of him for his fear.
"Shut up, nightlight," Countered the ravenette, throwing his brother's disgusting popcorn at him.
Ignoring his brothers, the redhead continued watching the on-screen slob, and his ranting at practically the world in general. 'Man, this dude's annoying,' Brick thought, wishing he could reach into the TV and choke the fat dirt bag.
'"THE REALITY OF YOUR EXTINCTION IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME!' screeched the slob, glaring down at people on the ground level of the motel, staring at him.
One man, who apparently heard him wrong, looked at his watch and called back, "It's eight o' clock!"
Back in the dingy room, the man shakes his fist and mutters angrily for a few moments, but the squeaking of the roach draws his attention. Immediately, he brightens. "Skippy!" he exclaims, leaning down to the insect. "What can you report?"
Squeaking in his ear briefly, the news obviously excites the slob because he leaps into the air ecstatically."Yahoo!" he cheers with delight, "We must call in the troops."
Raising a whistle to his grizzly lips, it produces a high-pitched, almost inaudible sound. All over Townsville, cockroaches swarm out of kitchen drawers, pizza boxes, toilets, and the walls and floors. Swarming the man, the vermin consolidate into an enormous flood of insects everywhere.'
"Eeeeeee," squeals Butch, similar to Bubbles at the beginning of the episode. "There is so many of them!" he screeches, jumping from the couch and pointing at the TV.
Boomer and Brick exchange a look, before cracking up. Who knew their brother was so terrified of roaches? Best blackmail, ever!
"Do you want me to fast-forward it for you, sissy?" the red ruff snorts, mockingly holding up the DVD remote.
"Hey! I'm no sissy," Protests the still hyperventilating ruff, arms crossed as he floated above the couch, twitching.
Meanwhile, on-screen dirt bag addresses his group of roaches, seething about the Powerpuffs. At least 'Roach Coach' has something the Rowdyruffs all can agree with.
'Fading to black, the screen snaps to the morning after-noon skyline.
"It's a beautiful day in Townsville," says the Narrator.
One man walks joyfully up to a hot dog cart, both he and the vendor start singing. "Hmm, looks good. I'd like to buy a dog."
"Mmm, it should. It's made from beef and hog," sings the vendor, fixing up a hot dog. "So, my pal, here's your dog, enjoy."
Taking the hot dog, the man sings out, "Oh, I shall. Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy," Happily, he bites into the hot dog and chews contently. A sudden crunch causes the man to stop short—should hot dogs sound like that? In a mixture of disbelief and revulsion, his eyes enlarge.
When he opens his mouth to let out a horrifying screech, roaches pour from his mouth and swarm all over body. Rapidly, the insects infest Townsville, covering the streets and buildings.'
"Who sings when they eat a hot dog?" Questions Boomer, snickering.
"Oh, I shall. Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy," mocks Butch, now sitting back down on the couch. Although the vermin on the TV make him squirm, he ignores the creepy sensation and jokes around with his brothers.
Both of the ruffs high five, as Brick scribbles furiously on his notepad.
"The girls haven't even fought yet, what are you writing?" Inquires the blonde, peeking over at the red ruff's notepad.
"Just the town's stupidity," replies the redhead.
An alluring voice on the screen pulls them back in to the episode.
'"Excuse me, Mr. Mayor. Don't you think you should make…the call?" questions a tall, shapely woman with voluminous hair.'
As the Mayor on-screen says something irrelevant, every ruff's eyes stay glued to the screen.
"Va-va voom, babe," whistles Brick.
"She's smoking!" exclaims Butch.
"I think I'm in love," Boomer sighs.
Unfortunately, further views of Sarah Bellum halt as the scene cuts to an exterior view of Pokey Oaks Kindergarten; the Rowdyruffs groan in objection.
'Inside, the Powerpuff hotline beeps, its red light flashing. Bubbles answers, cheerfully "hi."
"Powerpuff Girls?" speaks the Mayor on the other end, roaches continuing to run free outside.
"Bye," the blue puff hangs up.
Staring at the now-silent phone, the short man attempts to call again, while bugs pour into the windows.
"Hi," says Bubbles for a second time.
Ms. Bellum dances around the roaches; the Mayor yells in shock. "Emergency," he screeches.
"Bye," the blonde states a second time, and hangs up the hotline.
Instantly, the line goes off again and she answers for a third time, "hi."
"Get downtown!" hollers the Mayor, as roaches consume both him and Ms. Bellum.
"Bye," Bubbles hangs up a third time.'
"Dude, she is totally messing with him," Sniggers the blue ruff, finding his counter-part rather funny now.
"That's so messed up," laughs the ravenette.
'She looks happily at the phone, now completely silent. Flanked on both sides of Bubbles she sees her sisters, glaring at her. A chastened expression sets on the blue puff's face when she notices their displeasure. For the fourth time, the buzzer goes off and Blossom picks up the call as Buttercup keeps one hand clamped over her blonde sister's mouth.'
"What if we destroy their hotline, somehow," Wonders Brick aloud, contemplating his thought to the other ruffs.
"Wouldn't they notice?" Boomer replies, shooting down his redhead brother's idea.
"Aren't you supposed to be the stupid one," counters the red ruff, upset the blonde didn't care for his plan.
Distracted from the episode, Butch shushes his bickering brothers. "I want to know what happens!"
"Obviously the Powderpuffs will win," States the redhead, however he grabs his notepad anyways. Pencil in hand, he prepares to write down any battle tactics.
'"Oh? Like what are you gonna do, put 'em in a giant jar," Answers Buttercup sarcastically.
Thinking about Buttercup's sarcasm, Blossom smiles before taking off.'
"Let me guess, she gets a giant jar," states the green ruff bored.
They all watch the screen for a few minutes, Boomer breaking the silence as on-screen Blossom flies in with a giant jar. "Wow. Butch, can you like predict the future?"
Annoyed, the ravenette rolls his eyes; Brick does a face palm.
'The Narrator speaks, "And so, with her lightning-fast speed and her knowledge of where to get giant jars, Blossom makes quick work of cleaning up the town."
Even after she has been cleared of roaches, one woman still screams for a moment. Finally, she stops and takes notice of her roach-free body.'
"That lady is sure smart," observes the red ruff mockingly.
"Do we even want to rule this town," Butch questions. "This is just sad."
"I don't know," blinks the blonde, even he aware of how incompetent the citizens are.
'Suddenly, the jar bursts open, shards of glass flying everywhere. Roaches explode out of the broken container, before returning in a swarm to Roach Coach.
"That's it boys, come to Papa!" Exclaims the disgusting man; the roaches cover forms of various insects parts over the insane villain. Looming over the girls is a gargantuan shadow, and the puffs look up in stunned silence.'
"This is going to be fun," exclaims the green ruff, twitching as he anticipates the girls being pounded.
'Opening his jaw wide, the giant roach monster and close around the girls. For a few moments, the puffs hold back, all of them utterly disgusted by the vermin. Until, Blossom announces that these insects are yucky on the inside, and the puffs explode out of the giant roach, splitting it in half.
"Hey, you're not allowed to harm my roaches, "Exclaims Roach Coach.
Sharply, the girls do a U-turn and close in on the slime ball.
"Uh oh," mumbles the villain.
Plowing completely through the body, the girls kick and punch the bugs into mush. Their final blow knocks Roach Coach from the tower of roaches; he tumbles toward the street, roaring with anger. "Curse you, Powerpuff Girls!"'
"Yeah, go Powerpuffs," Squeals Boomer with glee, hugging a Bubbles plush-toy.
"Um, what are you doing," Inquires Brick with worry, pausing from writing down the girl's battle tactics to stare at his brother.
Butch slowly explains, "We hate the Powerpukes."
The red ruff then asked, "And why do you have a doll of blondie?"
Looking around suspiciously the blue ruff shouted out in defense, "No reason!"
Both of his brothers blinked at him. "Okay then," awkwardly, the ravenette replied.
'Blossom cried out, "Oh no! I know it's not okay to squish a person!"'
"REALLY BABE, THEN WHY THE HELL DID YOU BLOW ME UP," Screeched a furious redhead. Fists clenched, he glared daggers at the TV.
"Brick, you know that is a TV right- not really, her…" Told Boomer nervously, apprehensive about his brother. Looking ready to blow up- pun intended- the red ruff heatedly wrote in his notepad.
"Oh, snap. The ginger's got his notepad, everybody back up," Butch sniggered; although the joke was light, angering the livid ruff was a stupid idea.
Still, Brick did nothing but concentrate on the TV, then scribble in his notepad; his body shook with rage.
"You aren't exactly the brightest crayon in the box are you," Stated the blue ruff, he glanced over at his brother; positive Butch had a death wish.
On-screen Blossom exclaims something to her sister about the man being a robot, and Brick snaps his pencil. At the moment, her know-it-all voice infuriated him so much.
Oblivious to the boys, the green ruff assumed his brother snapped his pencil because of his commentary. "Don't kill me," he screamed, before zipping out of the room in a flash of green.
"Right behind you bro," hollered Boomer, zipping after his brother in a streak of blue.
'Around the insect, the scene dissolves to a gray jail cell. Inside the jail cell, is a small jar containing Roach Coach.
"Well, girls, thanks again for, uh…" the Mayor trailed of, unsure of what to say next.
"Saving the day, sir," reminded Ms. Bellum.
"No, no, no. For saving the day," he explained.
"No problem, Mayor," Blossom giggled.
As a spider descends into view in front of the Professor, he eyes the insect warily.
"It's all in a day's work. It doesn't bug us," joked the pink puff.'
"It doesn't bug us," mocked Brick, a little bit cooler but still beyond pissed. Looking around, he noticed his brothers were missing. Huh. Rising up from the couch, the red ruff stretched out before going to find his brothers.
'"So once again the day is saved- thanks to the Powerpuff Girls!" Stars pop up on the screen, and the three girls appear in action poses. "Spiders just creep me out," laughs the Narrator, "Oh, jiminy."
Most likely, chapters will be updated weekly. However, since the first chapter did not exactly express how the fic would be laid out, the second chapter is early. (:
